FAQs
Is the marriage legally recognized?
Absolutely. All of our Zoom-based marriages are 100% legally recognized in the United States and over 190 countries around the world. Once your virtual wedding is complete, you’ll receive an official marriage certificate issued by a U.S. County Clerk. This certificate is valid for name changes, immigration (including green card applications), government documentation, and international use. Our online marriage service meets all legal standards for both domestic and international recognition.
Can we get married even if we’re in different countries?
Yes — location is never a barrier. Whether you’re in a long-distance relationship, on deployment, or living abroad, we can legally marry couples no matter where they are in the world. As long as both individuals have a valid internet connection and access to Zoom, you can say “I do” from separate countries, time zones, or continents. Our global virtual marriage service is designed for international couples, military families, and long-distance partners.
How fast can we get married?
In as little as 2 hours. Many couples are legally married with us the very same day — sometimes within just 90 minutes. After you choose your package and complete the short application, you can instantly schedule your live Zoom ceremony. Once you’re married, a digital marriage certificate is emailed to you within minutes, and the official physical copy is shipped within 1–2 business days — or even overnight if you select express delivery. It’s the fastest legal marriage process available online.
Is your service LGBTQ+ inclusive?
Yes — proudly and without exception. We celebrate love in all its forms and are fully LGBTQ+ inclusive. Our virtual marriage platform welcomes same-sex couples, non-binary individuals, and gender-diverse partners from all over the world. Every officiant we work with supports equality and will ensure your marriage ceremony is respectful, affirming, and legally valid.
What documents do we need to provide?
Just a government-issued photo ID. To complete your virtual wedding, all you need is a valid ID such as a passport or driver’s license. We do not require a Social Security number, birth certificate, or residency in any specific U.S. state. Our simplified online process is designed to be fast, secure, and accessible — no matter where you live. You’ll receive easy-to-follow instructions as soon as you order.
